[FIWARE-ihubs-committee] The Future is in Data _ online event promoted by INTERSTAT initiative (Connecting Europe Facility)

[Tonia Sapia]

Dear Members,

We would like to invite you an online event that will take place on* 31 of
May at 14:00. *

EUROSTAT and the European Commission will be part. of the agenda. Among the
topics, will be also presented the next opportunities and open calls in the
context of  Open Data,


*Overview*

According to the European Commission: “Data is an essential resource for
economic growth, competitiveness, innovation, job creation and societal
progress in general. The European strategy for data aims at creating a
single market for data that will ensure Europe’s global competitiveness and
data sovereignty. Common European data spaces will ensure that more data
becomes available for use in the economy and society, while keeping the
companies and individuals who generate the data in control”.

Data driven applications will benefit citizens and businesses in many ways.
They can:

   - improve health care
   - create safer and cleaner transport systems
   - generate new products and services
   - reduce the costs of public services
   - improve sustainability and energy efficiency

In this context the EC wants to regulate the management of the data that
are provided by public bodies to private entities, and vice versa, and to
boost its use also for economic benefit. This context, however, cannot be
disconnected from EC's new strategy on the data spaces. Indeed, The
European data strategy of February 2020 announced the creation of Common
European Data spaces in 10 strategic fields: health, agriculture,
manufacturing, energy, mobility, financial, public administration, skills,
the European Open Science Cloud and the crosscutting key priority of
meeting the Green Deal objective

Concerning the data held by the Public Administration, the European Union
since the Directive 2003/98/EC on the re-use of public sector information,
has always adopted an approach aimed at making these data available to
third parties. Consequently, in pursuit of this vision, the Data Governance
Act aims to make available a massive amount of data held by the Public
Administration, which however are not yet accessible to third parties due
to limitations only partly arising from the GDPR framework, such as:
commercial confidentiality, statistical confidentiality, protection of
third parties' intellectual property rights or personal data protection.
According to this, the concept of High Value Datasets is introduced,
identifying statistical datasets as relevant for economic interest and
reuse.

In line with these topics:

How Open Data can be leveraged in the European Data Spaces?

How does statistical data contribute to the creation of a data space?

Which are the barriers that can prevent the sharing and reuse of
statistical datasets in actual scenarios involving different stakeholders,
possibly with economic interests?

Objective of the digital event

The objective of this digital event is to investigate on some of the
questions:

   - What changes for data that is managed by public administrations?
   - How will High Value Datasets be managed in the data space? What
   innovative technologies will be needed?
   - What is the contribution of Public Administrations related to the Data
   Spaces?
   - Which can be the impact on local communities? And how to
   boost/maximize it?
   - Which role can be played by private actors? Are there new policy
   and/or business models required to enable an actual collaboration around
   the reuse and the exploitation of High Value Datasets?
